The emotional value of a stimulus shapes decision-making and drives strategic behavioral choices. This value depends on the context in which a stimulus is encountered and can be altered by internal motivational states as well as learned associations. However, due to environmental complexity, stimuli can take different emotional values in different contexts, meaning that decision-related representations must be dynamically updated to maximize positive outcomes while avoiding negative ones. This strategic flexibility relies strongly on prefrontal-cortex (PFC), with its ventral sub-division thoug
